Third Place Story: Fall Publication Contest

"Guilty"

BY KATHRYN tURLEY

"A prisoner is about to be executed when a mysterious man enters the prison yard, interrupting the execution. This man quotes the law that allows a prisoner to be spared if someone takes the punishment—but this man is more than he seems, and the executioner is all too glad to take his life.

'Guilty' is about a condemned prisoner on execution day. It’s a personal story for me, based on Christ’s sacrifice for us, and how that purchases our redemption. As a pastor’s daughter, I want to share the love of Christ and how he redeems us. This story is my way of sharing how I was redeemed."

—Author, Kathryn Turley

Hi, I'm Kathryn!

I’m a teen author and blogger who writes engaging stories with deep themes. I’m a semifinalist in the Aurora contest. I’ve loved stories for as long as I can remember and I still haven’t entirely given up on finding a door to Narnia in my closet.
